Different is not Evil

March 31, 2017 7:38am CST
I exist with my definitions of good and bad. The question is What is good and bad? Who decides it? I came to know that this definition varies from person to person. What!! How can it be? How come people decide what is good and what is bad for everybody? And even if it is, how do they decide it? Right these are the questions that traveled my through my brain when i first knew that these decisions are personal, which you too may have come across. So, directly jumping to the answers that i found. We have learnt so many things, almost everything, from our surroundings, parents, teachers etc. We learnt their thoughts and beliefs. And this is how our decisions are affected. We begin to take decisions on the basis of either experiences or the faith. And we fear the unknowns. We hesitate to accept the differences. And from here comes the EVIL. As we began to fear the things we are not familiar with, we begin to consider it harmful, bad, unwanted, sometimes as ugly. But is it really so? Does the differences we come across are so far different from our understanding that we can't move on to find truth? Is our brain limited? Can't the rules be changed? Can't we at least try not to discriminated?

There is the field of Ethics which is the science of the study of Right and Wrong for us to know and determine if any given human acts is Good or Evil.

And who is the writer of these Ethics? he is also human. Though, i must say, much experienced one, still humanity is all taking the decisions.

Personally, these are some good things to think about. Depending on the age of a person depends on how far back they can think, and remember all the changes that have happened over time. Many things have gone backwards again and helped destroy some of the things that were working. I think it is time for more people to wake up and realize we were all created by god, and it should not be determined on Financial, Color or Health we were born with or have now as to how we are treated and treat others. It needs to start with parents and then go outward from there.

@AnthOcean Although the rules of the game can be changed and modified, the basic criteria for what is good or bad cannot be compromised upon.
